A TPC-based tracking system for a future Belle II upgrade

Abstract

In the next decade, intensity frontier experiments will require tracking systems that are robust against high event and background rates while maintaining excellent tracking performance. We develop a first conceptual design of a tracking system for a hypothetical future experiment--here imagined as a successor to Belle II--built around a time projection chamber (TPC) with high resolution readout. This choice necessitates a significant expansion of the silicon vertex detector as well as a new fast timing layer. We simulate the performance of such a system in the Belle II simulation framework, probe its major technical challenges, and demonstrate that such a system is suitable for projected luminosities at the next generation of intensity-frontier colliders.
